The Smashing Pumpkins

In August 2010, when The Smashing Pumpkins took the stage at SingFest, they were riding the wave of their album "Oceania," which was released earlier that year. "Oceania" was part of their ambitious 44-song concept project, showcasing a blend of their signature sound with an evolution that embraced more atmospheric elements. This live recording captures a moment when the band was reinvigorating themselves, stepping beyond the shadow of their legendary 90s hits. The lively energy of "Tonight, Tonight" and other classics in their setlist, like "Bullet With Butterfly Wings," reflected a poignant nostalgia while also demonstrating the band's adaptability and resilience. Notably, Billy Corgan, the frontman, often engages with fans during performances, and in this case, you can feel that connection echoing through the audience, reminding us all of how powerful live music can truly be. What a thrilling experience it must have been for those lucky fans!
